If I dampen it and then put it on the bottom of the tub and then add my dry substrate on top, it could possibly help keep the hatching tubs humidity up a bit for the first week or so while they adjust to the aspen from moist paper towels
Cool. Understood. But yeah, that does sound like a plan doing it the opposite way as well. Even dampening only half or one quarter of the paper towel covering the substrate. That way you can monitor the humidity percent and see which way you have to go with it. I think I will try that here with my crew. Lol.
